-Scheffer prize (2005)
Where her art resided in:
-In 2008, her art occupied the Townhouse gallery in Cairo.
-Also in 2008, European Ceramic Workcentre, Den Bosch.
-This particular artist/photographer has an absurd way of doing her pictures. She does unrealistic pictures/editing techniques that help to see things that aren’t necessarily realistic at all. She was her own inspiration, she doesn’t really rely off of others for her ideas within her work.
3. Philosophy
-Elspeth Diederix focuses most on objects and nature. Her style is very unique though, because she applies surreal editing to these photos that she takes, such as having dandelions as fingertips, chairs floating in the middle of the ocean, or having green glowing liquid pouring out of a glass cup. I think what she is trying to convey is to see the interesting, exciting side of life. It’s very exotic and wild to have an imagination, it can make life more fun. I think she just loves to have fun editing her images by doing things that not a lot of photographers do; surrealism.
